I love my son's nursery. Initially, I wanted to make it an "owl" nursery but the owls ended up just blending into the room and not becoming a "focal point" per se. His colors were gray and teal with white accents but I decided I also wanted a "pop" of orange. Here's what I ended up with. Like I said- I love it! The pictures don't do it justice.

My dad made the stump table from a tree the had on the ranch. My husband and I designed and made the shelving. My husband and father in law installed the crown molding. I recovered my sister's navy blue glider. |
I would like to say that the rug is more of a dull orange than a bright orange. It also came with a funky smell. I had to put it outside for days and spray it down with tons of febreeze.

I made the crib bedding and bed skirt. My husband and I made the abacus based off Anything Pretty's tutorial (abacus). The curtains are from Z gallerie (mimosa curtain) but I'm not sure they still make them in aquamarine. |

My sister and I made the birds for this mobile and my husband I spent a few hours balancing birds and branches! (Design Sponge Mobile DIY) |

The cubes are from Target though I couldn't find an orange one so my sister covered it for me. The lamp, which you can't see well from this terrible photo is actually a white tree stump. It's from Target too. (tree lamp) though I can't find an original link.

Here's more "artsy" photos. Taken at my baby shower by my co-worker's daughter, Kati. She's a better photographer than I am! |
awesome grey color! just what I had in mind for my little one's nursery!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The guy at the hardware store told me it would feel like a dungeon and not to go so dark. I went lighter initially, but it wasn't what I wanted. I love the dark grey. It's very soothing.

ReplyDeletewhat brand and shade of paint?
